Crew Leader (Crew Foreperson)
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for: Why You’ll Love It Here (maybe "About the role" or "Why You’ll Love It Here" but not in list; we could map to "About the role". The list includes "About the role". So we can use that heading.
Responsibilities: present.
Qualifications: present.
Skills: maybe not separate; but we have "Qualifications" includes skills; we could still have a Skills section if there is explicit skills list. The posting includes "Strong leadership, effective communication, and decision-making skills." That's skills. Could put under Skills.
Benefits: present: "What We Offer Non-Union Benefits Competitive pay Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Paid training and industry certifications Health, dental, vision & HSA options 401(k) + Paid time off and Employee Assistance Program (EAP)". Also "People Promise" maybe not needed.
Pay: Not explicitly stated; only "Competitive pay" but no numbers. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It says "Competitive pay" but not a specific amount; is that considered stating? It says "Competitive pay" is a statement but not a specific number. The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "Competitive pay" could be considered vague but not exactly placeholder like those. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "Competitive pay". Might be okay to include Pay section with that phrase. But better to avoid if uncertain. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Benefits and Pay? But they want separate headings if content exists. Since we have Benefits content, we can include Benefits. Pay maybe not needed.
Schedule: Not stated.
Thus sections: About the role (Why You’ll Love It Here), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits.
We need to use for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes a lot of duplicated English/Spanish sections. We need to keep only substantive content, not duplicate. The Spanish version is duplicate; we should ignore it (remove). Also the "People Promise" and EEO statements are boilerplate; remove. Also "Spanish Posting" heading etc. Remove.
We need to keep the core responsibilities, qualifications, benefits, etc.
Let's extract English substantive content:
- Intro: "Join a Company That Grows People At Lewis, we’re not just trimming trees — we’re building a future. As the second-largest utility vegetation management company in North America and a proud employee-owned business, we believe every person on our team matters. When you join Lewis, you're not just taking a job — you're investing in your future. Why You’ll Love It Here Experience the great outdoors while working in nature, not stuck behind a desk!

Shape your future with us through our fantastic Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)!"
That's the "Why You’ll Love It Here" section.
- Responsibilities: big list under "Responsibilities What You’ll Do as a Crew Leader". We'll keep all bullet points as list items.
- Qualifications: "Qualifications What You Bring At least 3 years of experience in a tree crew or in utility vegetation management. Strong knowledge and understanding of the ANSI Z133 Safety Requirements and A300 Pruning Standards for arboricultural operations. Proficient in the identification of poisonous plants. Proficiency in electrical circuit basics and interpreting circuit maps. Advanced in tree ascent/descent using ropes and a safety saddle, and skilled in aerial lift operations. Crew Leader Technical Knowledge and Skills Certification (or ability to complete). Valid driver’s license, CDL (as needed), and required medical certification. Acquire and keep the required training and licenses for the safe and proper use of herbicides. CPR and First Aid certified (provided by Lewis). Strong leadership, effective communication, and decision-making skills. Ensure compliance with all applicable state, local, and federal regulations."
Then "Physical Demands", "Environmental Conditions", "Tools & Equipment". Those are also qualifications/requirements; we could include them under Qualifications or maybe separate sections like "Physical Demands", "Environmental Conditions", "Tools & Equipment". But the instruction only lists specific headings; we could still include them as part of Qualifications (since they are qualifications). However we must preserve all substantive information; we can include them as sublists under Qualifications.
But we also have a separate "Skills" section maybe we can pull out leadership etc. But we already have leadership in Qualifications. Could create Skills section for "Strong leadership, effective communication, and decision-making skills." But that's also in Qualifications. To avoid duplication, better to keep Qualifications inclusive.
Benefits: "What We Offer Non-Union Benefits Competitive pay Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Paid training and industry certifications Health, dental, vision & HSA options 401(k) + Paid time off and Employee Assistance Program (EAP)". Also maybe "People Promise" but that's boilerplate.
We need to format as HTML.
We'll produce:
